this was SO good. i cant believe how much emotion she managed to pack into a short novella. i freaking loved samir.
pregnant fmc from a past abusive relationship, golden retriever mmc, second chance, fmc has a crappy family
there were a LOT of good quotes ill come back and add probably but this was the one that really stuck with me
"He couldn’t punch a wall ever again, actually. He couldn’t even slice up onions like a madman. He could never come close to losing his temper, Samir decided, because he would rather die, boiled alive from the inside out by pent-up rage, than ever do anything to make Laura flinch, or hesitate, or remember."...more
banger list includes: - fantasy author fmc - black fmc - black fmc with scars on her face - fake dating - revers4.5 stars
this book had nothing but bangers
banger list includes: - fantasy author fmc - black fmc - black fmc with scars on her face - fake dating - reverse age gap (its 12 years i think but hes well into his twenties so its not weird) - reformed playboy mmc - dog mom and not in a cringe dog in a purse millennial way - demisexual mmc - amazing found family of outcasts (from the previous books) - so much yearning - fmc sticking it to her crappy ex husband
and also lots of discussions of consent and how men are often treated as though they always want sex, its never going to be a no, and how the mmc essentially harmed himself by having a lot of relations before he realized he was on the asexual spectrum because he felt like he SHOULD want sex or that it was what was expected of him.
this book was.. good to okay. i liked the characters a lot and i do think they were well formed, i liked the relationship and the kids and the back3.25
this book was.. good to okay. i liked the characters a lot and i do think they were well formed, i liked the relationship and the kids and the background plot
i think the biggest issue for me was the pacing and sometimes the writing :/
due to the pacing of the relationship i actually think this book would have been better had it been shorter, which is something i rarely say. usually you see me complaining about books not being long enough. the relationship started (or was heavily insinuated) about 60 pages into the book and the timeline felt a bit unclear, resulting in the feeling of it going very slow and very fast simultaneously. there wasnt any real build up so while i do think they were good together i didnt FEEL the chemistry
the other issue to me was the writing. it didnt stand out to me much positively or negatively but the main issue i had was how sometimes it seemed to switch povs mid paragraph with nothing to clue us in on whats happening, which for me frequently led in confusion and the need to go back and re-read pages
all this being said, i do still wanna read her best friends book!! like i said, i really did like the characters themselves. i just think if the writing and pacing had been a bit better it would have been able to shine a lot more....more

i honestly dont know how im gonna feel abt this one, because i dont really like second chance romances that much. buttt i love the mix of country boy/hockey player
subversive, immersive (yayyy rhyming), and easy to understand!! i thought it gave a lot of different perspectives and was pretty educational!! i also subversive, immersive (yayyy rhyming), and easy to understand!! i thought it gave a lot of different perspectives and was pretty educational!! i also liked the message of how people who are misogynistic because they are a byproduct of their environment can learn for the better. handled everything with nuance and care :)...more
